“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” -Lao Tzu
Sometimes the only way to create something new and wonderful is to completely shed what’s been. Don’t be afraid to evolve. Don’t let yourself get attached to ideas of who you are that no longer serve you.
Give yourself permission to do something new, or something old differently. Give yourself the freedom to be whoever you want to be in this moment, regardless of who you’ve been. Even if you’re not fully confident. Even if you’ve made mistakes. Who cares–we all do.
This moment is your chance to be the person you want to be. The question is: what would that person do?
Love this quote. As I am always trying to evolve and not get attached to a specific idea of what is me…I am always surprised by how strongly a part of me wants to commit to an idea of self and to my past, no matter how unhelpful, destructive, and inaccurate those ideas of self may be. Always good to be reminded that we can make an effort to not get stuck in that mental rut.
